The National Identity Management Commission has warned Nigerians against a circulating online flyer claiming that a free NIN data correction portal has been opened, describing it as fake.
The commission, on its official X handle on Saturday, urged the public not to use the portal advertised in the flyer for any modification of their National Identification Number data.
“The public is hereby advised not to use the above for modifying their NIN data. All modifications should only be done via the official channel: https://selfservicemodification.nimc.gov.ng,” the post read.
The fake flyer, which had been widely circulated on social media, bore the NIMC and Federal Government logos and claimed that the Federal Government had directed the commission to open a correction portal following a “high level of complain.”
